MORGAN’S TREATY A big thank-you to Rodney Hide for his Herald on Sunday article giving us a reflection on the mind and character of political aspirant Gareth Morgan. A man of many talents, Morgan studied the Treaty of Waitangi, and to enlighten an ignorant public wrote a book on it, Are We There Yet . . .. Its title should have been Munchausen’s Guide to Te Tiriti, for its wealth of fanciful conclusions. B J Omokoroa.

MORE OF THE SAME So our new prime minister is treading the same path that John Key trod towards exclusive, ethnic privilege and racial disharmony with his support for holding a memorial day to commemorate the, so called, ‘‘Land Wars.’’
This commemoration is a thinly disguised effort by the Tainui iwi to project their profitable version of the conflict perhaps in the hope of inducing Mr Finlayson to give away even more of the taxpayers’ money.
Mr English has also found it pragmatically and politically propitious to reverse his moral stand on ‘‘same sex marriage’’. ‘‘O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive.’’ Walter Scott, 1808 B J Omokoroa
